Note: Adobe Premiere Pro uses an overlay edit when synchronizing clips. Take care not to overwrite adjacent clips if
you have multiple clips on the same track.
1 Select the clips you want to synchronize.
2 Target a track (by clicking its track header) to align the other clips to it.
For example, if you synchronize clips on their Out point, the end of each clip aligns with the Out point of the
targeted track. A clip will be trimmed if synchronization causes its In point to fall before the sequence zero point.
Note: If one track of a linked audio/video pair is unselected, the pair will become out of sync. Out-of-sync indicators
will appear on the clips.
3 Choose Clip > Synchronize, and then choose one of the following options:
Clip Start Synchronizes clips at their In points.
Clip End Synchronizes clips at their Out points.
Timecode Synchronizes clips to the specified timecode. If you use the hours value in source timecode as a camera
designator, select the Ignore Hours option to use only minutes, seconds, and frames to synchronize clips.
Numbered Clip Marker Synchronizes clips to the specified numbered clip marker. Choose the marker number to
use from the Marker pop-up menu.
You can also use the Synchronize command to sync several video clips on separate tracks or unlinked audio and
video tracks when you are not editing a multi-camera sequence.
Create a multi-camera target sequence
1 Choose File > New > Sequence.
2 Drag the sequence containing the multi-camera clips into a video track of the new sequence. (See “ Nest
sequences ” on page 155.)
3 Select the video and audio tracks in the nested sequence, and then choose Clip > Multi-Camera > Enable. The
command is unavailable unless you have the video track selected.
Record multi-camera edits
You record a multi-camera edit in the multi-camera target sequence you have already assembled. (See “ Add clips
for multi-camera editing ” on page 159.)
1 Select the multi-camera target sequence in the Timeline panel, and then choose Multi-Camera Monitor from the
Window menu.
2 In the Multi-Camera Monitor, click the Record On/Off Toggle button .
Note: You can also switch into record mode during playback by clicking a camera preview in the Multi-Camera
Monitor.
3 To record audio from the selected camera to the audio track, select Audio Follows Video in the Multi-Camera
Monitor panel menu. Deselect this option to record audio from the audio track selected in the source sequence.
Note: In order to retain audio from more than one track simultaneously, mix all the desired tracks to a single track in
the source sequence, select the resulting audio track, and deselect the Audio Follows Video option.
4 Click the playback button in the Multi-Camera Monitor to start playing the video from all cameras.
The footage from the active camera is recorded in the multi-camera target sequence. A red border indicates the
active camera, and the large preview shows the content you are recording.
